Web Services / Action Framework Configuration Issue

Configuring Web Services overview, to give the end user a list of web services to choose from, I ran into an error  when trying to create a new action:

Soap invocation failure. HTTP error code: '
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
 <env:Header/>
 <env:Body>

 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>'.

ActionFrameworkConfig.xml file



This error shows in bi_server1-diagnostic.log, located in

%MW_HOME%\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\logs

"Error reading config file null"

[2014-08-08T09:54:34.146+02:00] [bi_server1] [ERROR] [] [oracle.bi.action.registry.actionregistry] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: BISystemUser] [ecid: 135ac36048dd4c54:-2a4ce35d:147b4973be8:-8000-0000000000000084,0:1:1] [APP: bimiddleware#11.1.1] [J2EE_APP.name: bimiddleware_11.1.1] [J2EE_MODULE.name: analytics/actions] [WEBSERVICE.name: ActionRegistryService] [WEBSERVICE_PORT.name: ActionRegistrySvcPort] Error reading config file null[[

Further down, found this:

[org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'registry'. One of '{registries}' is expected.]


So a tag <registries> was missing in ActionFrameworkConfig.xml
